PROJECT RUNWAY- I'll deliver the Hoyer verdict each week and tell you the designer drop-out. . .

I met all the Project Runway gang the other day at, where else, a fabric shop in Sydney's 'rag trade' district, Surry Hills.

There's Anthony (who had Swarovski crystals dotted all over his face and admitted he takes hours to get ready) who I have a feeling may be in for the long haul.

Ivana, who has had a working stint with Costume National (now that's a mighty good pedigree); we have Lauren (who had on the most exquisite feathered dress on when I met her and one I've already put in an order) while the vivacious Amber is already a designer and wants a gig as a stylist.
Then there's Yopie (the costume designer who's on crutches); Jason and Claudia who is a lingerie and swimwear designer who has a on the south coast on NSW.
Michael told me he a sees himself as the new J'Aton or Alex Perry (Mikey isthe one with all that hair) while the bespectacled Mark is a very artistic, smart and 'studied' kind of young man. I like him.
So to tonight's efforts to ceate a red carpet gown . . .
Lauren: A red carpet gown until it got down to the 'mullet' hemline
Claudia: too short for a 'real' red carpet gown
Jason: not a good dress - too much action going on. Less is more Jase . . .
Yopie: good effort . . . but she IS a 'costume' designer
Ivana: A fantastic, one-shouldered black dress- very chic
William: Like the modernity of his dress and feathered head piece
Anthony: Good fabric choice and an interesting 'Cate Blanchett' design as he called it
Mark: great fusion of young and old - nice graphic design, silhouette and hues of aqua and tan
Amber: not great effort for first-time frock - too unfinished


So who was this weeks designer drop-out?
Jason and his multi fabric extravaganza . . .

Good choice gang? Let me know?

See you after next week's show but drop by to my blog most days for other snippets of news. . .
